The activity that the student could perform to model the physical weathering of rock is to place several cookies in a box and shake the box.

To model the physical weathering of rock, the student could perform the activity of placing several cookies in a box and then shaking the box. By shaking the box, the cookies will break into smaller pieces, simulating the process of physical weathering in which rocks are broken down into smaller fragments due to natural forces like wind, water, or temperature changes. This activity helps the student to understand how rocks can undergo mechanical weathering, without necessarily involving any chemical reactions.
